Through: City Manager, Jim Hunt
From: Community Development Director, Ron Long
Agenda Item: Accepting the Award and Appropriating remaining funds for SMIC Expansion from
$10 Million bond
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Development of the Seward Marine Industrial Center is and has been a priority for funding requests and
economic development for the City. A phased plan has been adopted to construct the breakwater at SMIC
and State funding has been awarded for the project. Financial control measures and accounting practices
require the City Council to accept individual grant awards and to appropriate funds. The finance department
will track expenses for the project and ensure that they comply with requirements of the grant awards.
In November 2011 Alaska voters approved a statewide transportation bond package which included ten
million dollars ($10,000,000) for the SMIC breakwater and expansion project. Bond proceeds are
administered through the State of Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic
Development, Division of Community and Regional Affairs, which initiated grant agreement 13-GO-0 14
with the City. Council acceptance and appropriation of funds is required to move forward with the project.
INTENT:
This resolution requests authorization for the City Manager to accept State of Alaska Legislative Grant no.
13-GO-014 and appropriate remaining funds.
